Fiona Tay

I'm an software engineer at Airbnb. I love working on web applications and consider myself a full-stack engineer. I primarily work in Ruby on Rails and have been using it since 2010. In my free time, I like to visit bookstores, ride my bike(s), and watch prime-time TV.

Professional Interests & Conference Speaking

I speak at conferences from time to time - here's a select list of my talks. While I've slowed down a bit, I'm looking to get back into it (and am open to invitations).

Career growth/diversity in tech

Getting Involved in Open Source, SoCal Celebration of Women in Computing, April 2012

Diversity & Inclusion Advocacy

I have a background in Chemistry and Physics, and thought I wanted to be a scientist as a child. In 2009, I learnt to program after taking CS 101 at Harvey Mudd College, because of the
department's initiatives to make CS more welcoming to newbies :D
